6/14/06 - Brewers (Villanueva) @ Reds (Ramirez) 11:35 am CST

[JenksFan5]

I am all for Jenkins being moved down in the lineup to sort things out, but tell me there isn't a better option than Koskie in the 3-hole.

 

Yost's infatuation with the left-right-left-right thing is getting out of control and I don't usually criticize Yost.

 

I would rather see Hall in the 3-hole or Fielder (but I think they are still trying to protect Fielder a bit). Just my two cents.

 

This post was started before Koskie's hit, but I still stand by my opinion.

Could this be the one day of the year Moeller turns into Piazza? I'm telling you, he's good for one offensive explosion per season.

 

This wouldn't be a bad day for it.

[brewers255]

prince swinning at 2 pitches at his head, and 1 way outside. I think he is a little anxious being on espn.

[JoeH33]

Whats with Cinci batting Aurilla, who sports a .522 OPS vs RHP, in the cleanup spot?

[steve267268]

If there was ever a ball park that Moeller could go deep in, this would be the one...

[JoeH33]

Jenkins seems to like that 7 spot.

[brewers19]

I smell a Jenkins hot streak.

[brewers255]

Jenks, with another hit.

[sheethead]

Looks like it could be K day for the Brewer hitters. Good to see Jenks digging out of the slump.

[adamb100]

Moeller, the human double play.

[adambr2]

Nothing like hitting into a DP that lets the pitcher lead off next inning.

[Bruce Ciskie]

Ugh.

 

Moeller can't even strike out right. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/happy.gif

[JoeH33]

Great, Chad makes sure the pitcher gets to lead off next inning.

[Bruce Ciskie]

Adam Dunn strikes out.

 

In other news, water is wet.

[jloos19]

Come on Prince, make that play.

[Dmiles23]

How are the Reds second in the league in errors with this scorer? There have been 3 plays in this series that were ruled hits that should have been errors.

[Bruce Ciskie]

Koskie gets a benefit out of playing shallow at third base, as he starts the DP to end the inning.

 

Chuckie due up to start the fourth.

[craigharmann]

I've been impressed with Villanueva so far today....he's really doing well, not getting into trouble and keeping his pitches down.

[honuswagner21]

How are the Reds second in the league in errors with this scorer? There have been 3 plays in this series that were ruled hits that should have been errors.

 

With that said, are the Brewers really tightening up their D or are we getting lucky? Rickie certainly seems better in the field. Not sure if that is truly the case but I hope that it is. All I can hope is that Cincy takes over as the team with the most errors sooner rather than later.

Is MLB.com Gameday Audio or MLB.TV working for anyone out there? Thanks.

[adambr2]

So far, Villanueva doesn't seem too fazed about being a 22 year old AA player suddenly starting in the MLB on national television. Hope he keeps it up.

[Badger61]

Was Brady thrown at again? I'm watching on Gameday so I can't tell...I would think once was enough though.

[honuswagner21]

Is MLB.com Gameday Audio or MLB.TV working for anyone out there? Thanks.

 

I have the Gameday Audio on right now and it is working. I can't speak for MLB.tv though.

[Ayt]

"Bush League" Brady with another crafty move.

[Bruce Ciskie]

How the heck is that an out?

 

No way.
